I have recently joined Trotter Y. I usually go to Tellepsen, but since my grandchildren are coming to Tennis/swimming camp, I came to Trotter. I REALLY LOVE the community and the pool. I do swim and water aerobics mostly. I really enjoy coming to Trotter.
variety, low key atmosphere, hours, instructors
That they are free of charge and walk-in friendly.
The facilities nice, well maintained. Staff are very pleasant / welcoming.
The great personnel and schedules
The women’s workroom and the lap pool.
Great programs, great instructors and great facility.
Exceptionally helpful staff and great people that take classes.
I am very happy with the facility and staff this summer. Our family enjoys yoga, pilates, personal training and swimming lessons. We were members last summer too and feel like maintenance and cleanliness are more of a priority this year, which is hugely appreciated. The staff interactions seem warmer and friendlier too. Our only complaint is that the slide in the family pool is closed most of the time. Perhaps you could post slide hours in the class schedule?
I love the classes offered
My son is taking swimming class here and is our first time here but there is a teacher name ANA I really don’t recommend coz she is working with beginners kids “my son doesn’t know how to swim nothing at all” but this class was mixed advanced kids and beginners” so she took the whole group to the deepest area 😞 that’s is NOT correct and not professional. I’m hoping 🙏🏻 she won’t be his teacher again.
The staff is so courteous and professional, the group classes are terrific, and the use of the Zoom room for Toastmasters and HOA meetings for no charge is wonderful.
So far as I have only been a member for about 8 months, I have to say the instructors are fantastic (Nellie Hartsell, Cyndi Walker and Leslie Cuenca are awesome). I am not really a fan of the virtual Les Mills classes at the Y, prefer an in person instructor. There seems to be a wide variety of classes, although I wish more classes were offered past 5:30 p.m. as my husband would be able to go after work which would after 6:30.
Group exercise classes!!!
Virtual exercise classes!!!
Lots of great options. Variety of classes and flexibility of schedule.
Excellent variety of classes and instructors are the best.
There are activities for most anyone, regardless of age or background
I love the Women's Center! It is smaller and much cooler and even feels cleaner. The lady who is there Monday through Saturday is dependable, friendly and very helpful.
Cleanliness.
Organization .
Only using the stationary bikes but plenty readily available or if not when I get there, only have had to wait a few minutes and one opens up.
This is a very nice facility. There’s another YMCA closer to my house, but this facility is worth it to drive a little further. The staff are all very friendly and professional. There is a lot equipment to choose from. I like the separate work out room for women. I have not use the cafe, but that’s a nice benefit.
Low impact aerobic exercise and cardio combo
We have been a of the YMCA family for 6yrs. I have watched my boys and myself develop into better of ourselves over these years. It reminds me of the old saying it takes a village and the YMCA has been a staple part of our village. If you need a safe and fun place for your family to be. Here your place.. See you soon!
I like the extra virtual group fitness classes
That means I am more likely to go to one since more are offered
I particularly like the book group discussions but I've also taken some of the exercise classes that are also good -- and the staff are also friendly and helpful.
I like the water aerobics class
I have heard that Trotter may eliminate or shrink the size of the main pool. I hope you don’t do that. It’s a major-selling point. I have friends who live in the Heights; they recently joined Trotter because of the pool.
My only other feedback relates to adult karate, which is terrific. I wish there were more options for various belt levels. The class I’m in is practically bursting with people from all levels. The instructors Jeff, Stefan, and several others, are fantastic. If possible, please give us more!
My son and I are regulars at Trotter. We love it. Please keep up the fine work.

There is a lot of variety in group exercise classes. However, I would like to see a 4:45 or 5:00 pm class on Monday. There are three good choices in the late afternoon on Thursday but none on Monday. How about moving one of them to Monday afternoon.
Thanks for the several choices for classes on Sunday.
